Win How do I watch recordings as "Tv Shows" or "Movies"?
#1
I've got XBMC running well with NextPVR. I did a test recording of the Big Bang Theory last night.
However I can't seem to get XBMC set so I can view the recordings through "TV Shows" or "Movies". The reason I'd like to do this is we usually watch TV (Hulu and Netflix) from our laptops but would like to be able to mount the media server over our network and using local to machines XBMC play the recordings.

My recordings are in .TS format
I'm running XBMC in Administrator mode (seemed to work "funny" in regular mode)
I've added the directory with the recordings to my files list
I've added advancedsettings.xml
I've restarted XBMC

Am I missing something? Please and thanks.

To show files in the Movies and TV Shows views files have to be named to XBMC standards and the scrapped by XBMC. There are utilities like imageGrabLite and GuidePlus for NextPVR that will do this for you. Alternatively you can rename them yourself.

As a best practice I'd use NextPVR's capability of indicating directories when you record so you don't mix these two libraries.
